London Film Festival 2023: Robot Dreams

Spanish director Pablo Berger’s rich and emotionally engaging animation about friendship, set in a bustling 1980s New York City. Dog is lonely so decides to buy himself a new companion in the shape of Robot, delivered in parts for home assembly but soon lovingly transformed into a fully functioning friend. Berger’s gorgeous, colourful and sharply humorous film, with its nods to silent cinema, offers insightful reflections on the pleasures of camaraderie.

Dialogue-free.
